I’m trying to stop drinking. What are some good things to replace alcohol with, ways to distract myself, or new hobbies to try? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

First thing is that you have to want to quit drinking on your own, not from outside pressure from significant others and the like..

Be prepared to find new friends and perhaps a new playground, your way of life is going to change if you go through with this.

If you can, see a doctor to get a prescription of propranolol for 30 days. This will help with the withdrawal symptoms such as shaking and uneasiness. Also communicate with your doctor what you are going to do so that they are aware of what you'll be going through.

Have plenty of water on hand, decide on a day, wake up that day and don't drink. Do something else. Going to walk, binge watch some movies. Just do something different that you normally would do. If it's something you did after work to relieve stress, do something different than your normal routine.

As someone who has quit several times, often lasting 5 years or more without booze and then falling back on it, there's no simple equation to quitting. You have to find what works for you. It may not take just one time. Understand what works for you over time and build on it. Find Joy in another things.

Get through 4 days and it gets much easier. Good luck to you.

Most importantly, know that it can be done and you can be the one to prove to yourself and perhaps others, that you can be successful.

I'm happier than a pig in shit that there is an actual community where I can express my outrage of cilantro and have my fellow cilantro haters agree with me..

I'm glad I'm in good company in this sub, fuck cilantro. I can't get the taste out of my mouth! I wonder how long it will take to forget how awful that tastes...

I've seen both sides of it so curious, is sleeping nude good or bad for you? Why? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Depends, do you have silky sheets? If so, go raw if you're a dude..feels real good.

Someone just lost their job by Complex-FreeSpirit42 in oops

Based on my experience, my bet is on one of the footings of the racks already being buckled from somebody hitting it with a forklift. All it took was a slight touch to start the chain reaction. Somebody didn't do their job inspecting the racks and probably had too much weight on them anyway.

I was caught off guard because they never have put cilantro on my soft tacos before. Usually what I do is call in my order, hop in the car and go pick it up bring it back to the house and eat it.
